THE INFLUENCE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES AND EFFECTIVENESS ON THE SATISFACTION OF TEACHERS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The study identified the influence of school facilities on school effectiveness and teachers job satisfaction of public elementary schools in Davao City. The study used the quantitative approach to collect and analyze data. The study used Multiple Linear Regression to determine the variables in this study. This survey used a combination of researcher-made and adapted questionnaires to measure the influence of educational facilities on school effectiveness and teachers job satisfaction. The researcher gathered data thru an online survey, with 208 respondents using a stratified sampling method. The statistician analyzed the data using mean, Pearson r, and regression. The study found that public school teachers in Davao City moderately agree that there is an adequate and functional provision of facilities in their schools. The level of school effectiveness was found out to be high. The level of job satisfaction was also high. The study revealed that school facilities do not influence teachers job satisfaction but school effectiveness does. This implies that the evaluation of school facilities needs further investigation using a standard measurement value to reveal the actual status of school facilities without the partiality and inconsistency of teachers individual perceptions. The correlation result of this study also implies that the relationship between school heads, teachers, students, and the entire school and the community play a significant role in teachers job satisfaction.
